Doubt it. He's still minimum wage.

p.s. these new OS ads really suck. I can barely even post without either a freeze, script error, or a massive slowdown. Anyone else seeing that too?

Yeah a little bit. it makes my computer and phone slow every once in a while on here because of adds.

Do you guys think the White Sox would move Addison Reed if they are struggling in game?

White Sox are moving anyone but Konerko and Sale atm. So yeah.

I'm trying to find a young bullpen arm to try and bolster my bullpen for a the future. Doesn't need to be a high potential, just someone who could contribute because my bullpen certainly isn't at the moment.

Seth Maness, Aaron Loup, Joe Kelly, Brian Shaw are all options.

Some names of young pen arms who I think are more available than Addy Reed...

Ryan Cook, James Russell, Sean Doolittle, Stephen Pryor, Charlie Furbush, Josh Fields, Brett Oberholtzer, Paul Clemens, Casey Fien, Kelvin Herrera, Aaron Crow, anyone on San Diego, Bryan Morris, Logan Ondrusek, Jose Arredondo, Mark Rogers, Josh Lindblom

depending on how teams are doing...

Hmm, Joe Kelly and Maness are listed as starters in my franchise. They both have like 75+ stamina, so I don't think they'd suit me. I'm looking for a middle inning eater really. Loup and Shaw are both intriguing, but I'm leaning towards Shaw because he's a righty, however Loup is a little better attribute wise. Another person I'm actually looking at is Joba.

Wow, those are actually some really impact names on that list!

Carter Capps?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I don't see the M's giving up Capps or Pryor anytime soon. Furbush maybe, O. Perez definitely.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I know you're the Phillies and all but Kyle Drabek could make an interesting relief option.

There's also James Russell on the Cubs who's semi-young, and Vic Black on the pirates.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

You guys are great--I appreciate the knowledgeable and thorough responses!

I don't know what a pytho is...

Pythagorean Theorem to determine expected record--what are your team's runs scored and team's runs allowed (I'm curious as well).

On other roads...Addy Reed could go but because of all of that control, you'd be paying a premium. A reliever that MIGHT be worth a low b means you'd have to give up that low b and then throw in something that equals value of all of that control so you'd end up giving up a mid a plus a low b or 2 mid b's plus a low b for someone who is only worth a low b, make sense?

I also know that KC is not giving up Crow.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

A's are playing really well so I don't think Cook or Doolittle would get moved. Furbush is really interesting but he's having a great year. Russell is in AAA and is looking pretty nice to have, especially because of his higher stamina. I tend to try and use either a low end starter or a reliever with high stamina, especially because I play tons of extra inning games. For example, I'm using Zambrano right now as my long reliever but he has an ERA of 10.45 so he's gonna go haha. If anyone on San Diego holds true, Boxberger is who I want haha.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Also, I hope this is ok to ask but the centerpiece of my Lee to Texas trade, Olt, has struggled a bit thus far and I'm not sure if he's quite ready to be in the majors yet. I was thinking maybe I should send him down and work on his hitting attributes more and sign a free agent. Also, he gets tired really easily and has to sit out every 2-3 games which is quite annoying and I don't know why that's the case either. Another option would be to trade for an old 3r baseman to play there for the rest of the year, unless you guys think i should ride out olt

Acquire a starter and convert him into your desired bullpen piece by Edit Player > and swap positions to RP and lower his stamina to something in the 40's or 50's (whatever your desired number is)

Go get a super sub like Cody Ransom, Nick Punto or Jerry Hairston that can come in to play from the 7th and on with Olt having played the first 6 innings?

Danny Valencia from the O's? He's stuck behind Machado and still fairly young. His power could play quite well at CBP.

I'd try and ride it it with Olt while getting that extra bat to not necessarily give him days off but rather sit him for a couple of innings per game. Run his training to up his durability?
